The article is devoted to the study of the impact of decorative cosmetics on skin health, in particular, assessing its potential benefits and risks. The goal is to analyse the components of cosmetic products, determine their possible effects on the skin, and assess consumers' awareness of the ingredients and possible consequences of makeup use. The research was conducted by analysing literary and informational sources related to the composition of cosmetic products and their effects on the skin. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was used, in which 294 female students aged 16 to 22 participated. The obtained data were analysed using statistical tools, particularly the STATISTICA 7.0 program. 73.5% of respondents use decorative cosmetics daily, with most choosing mascara, foundation creams, and lipstick. The analysis of popular cosmetic products' composition revealed the presence of potentially harmful components, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and other heavy metals, which may hurt the skin and the body as a whole. The level of consumer awareness about harmful ingredients and the expiration date of cosmetics was low, which increases the risk of allergic reactions and other dermatological issues. The study's results indicate the need to raise consumer awareness about the ingredients and potential risks of using decorative cosmetics. The findings can be used by a wide range of professionals in the field of cosmetology and the production of cosmetic products. This information will also be helpful to consumers considering alternatives, such as green cosmetics, which contain safer ingredients and may become one of the effective ways to reduce the negative impact of makeup on the skin.
